Introduction: Language Teaching Feedback and Assessment Aided by Digital Technologies

The rapid advancement of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), has had a profound impact on language assessment. Innovations such as G-Rubric, chatbots, and tools like AntConc are transforming how language proficiency is evaluated, offering new opportunities for automated feedback and enhancing Language Assessment Literacy (LAL). This special issue (SI) explores the integration of AI-aided assessment tools in various official contexts, including university entrance exams (EVAU) and Spain's Escuela Oficial de Idiomas (EOI) system. By examining these developments, we aim to provide insights into the future of language assessment in digital learning environments, focusing on how AI can facilitate more effective, equitable, and personalized language evaluation.
